Delicata Squash Burger Patties

Hey vegetarians! I came up with a scrumptious way to eat burgers. And this weird striped little squash. I’m not a vegetarian anymore, but I still make it often because it’s so good! Serve in burgers, or by itself with a side of green salad, rice or potatoes. This also makes for a wonderful ravioli stuffing.

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place squash on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step: 3

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove and cool. Cut into cubes.

Step: 4

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallot and garlic in the melted butter until shallot is transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes; cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Mash squash cubes into shallot mixture until relatively smooth. Remove from heat, transfer mixture to a bowl, and cool for 2 to 3 minutes.

Step: 5

Stir bread crumbs, egg, and Parmesan cheese into squash mixture. Add more bread crumbs if mixture is too sticky. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 patties.

Step: 6

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat; cook patties in the hot oil until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
